Response to Tim Bolen's nonsense about Hulda Clark

Here is my first (private) message to Tim Bolen, in which I responded to one of his first so-called "press release(s)", which he sent as spam to lots of people. I simply copied his mail and interspersed my comments. For the sake of this blog entry, I have also colored some of his words:

Try and prove this "claim", Tim.

We don't need funding, unlike you. We use our leisure time.

Yes, it's your opinion.

Sounds pretty if'ish to me.

If that's all the support she can get, she's in poor shape.

True believers. No knowledge, just belief.

"...a cure for cancer,..." Prove it just once. What you write next
shows that even you don't have proof. Still a lot of "if"s.

What studies are you referring to? References please.

It's just a theory. As far as "common sense", in her case, there isn't
much that's common about it. Nonsense would be a better word.

Again, a lot of "if"s. But she's wrong.

Now who's pointing the finger? That statement says more about you,
than it does about the NCAHF.

"Retired" is the word. That's why he has so much time to
pursue his hobby, of trying to give people the information they don't
get from those who are out to deceive them. Thus they are prepared
to make an informed decision.

The problem is health fraud. Without it, no need for quackbusting.

Academic acceptance is certainly not something that
"Dr." Clark has. And with good reason. But if you're
immune to cognitive dissonance, then you'll continue to
support her.
